THE CHILDREN AND GROWN-UPS AUTONOMOUS NON-PROFIT MAKING ORGANIZATION Khabarovsk, Russia

THE CHILDREN AND GROWN-UPS has been working in Khabarovsk, Russia, since October 5, 2004.

OUR MISSION: We are dedicated to support all children and youth initiatives to reach their maximum spiritual and physical potential, and achieve independence in the modern society.

Albina G. Dolgan, the Children and Grown-ups Director: “We expect our children to know and love the Far Eastern Region of Russia, where they live. We dream about equal possibilities for children in receiving education, developing their mental, creative and physical abilities. We want our kids to live within careful society and clear environment, be kind, responsive and active. If grown-ups strive for all that along with children, everything will be a success, because children and grown-ups are always together!”

The Children and Grown-ups has adapted its programs to address changes in local societal problems. We invite our present and possible friends to participate in the following PROGRAMS:
